1. Consuming Energy Drinks: Factors that affecting university students in Dhaka city
Research objectives:
1. To study demographic characteristics of consumers and buying energy drinks.
2. To find which factor influence to buy energy drinks.
3. To study the relationship between the Gender and purchase place choice.
4. To study the relationship between gender and preferred medium of advertisement.
5. To study the relationship between periods of consumes energy drinks and health
conscious.
6. To fine the correlation between independent variables ( taste, caffeine, refreshment, and
brand loyalty) and dependent variables ( consume energy drinks)
Research methodology:
The study includes both expletory and descriptive research to find the more reliable solution and
clarify the solution. We set the questionnaire with likert scale and statistical tool used for factor
analysis and also set scaling measurement for regression analysis. Chi-square test, factor analysis
and regression analysis used for interpreting data. We send the questionnaire to 250 consumers
out of those consumers 200 consumers response to fill up the questionnaire. This research
divided into four categories. First of all there are the demographic characteristics of gender and
most purchase energy drinks. Secondly, there are three chi-square test of gender and purchase
place, Gender and advertisement, periods of time consume and health conscious. Thirdly there
are the factor analyses that influence the consumers of purchase energy drinks. Lastly there is
regression analysis of independent and dependent variables and find the correlation between
those variables. In likert scale the item were measured on a 5 point representing 1 low point and
5 high point.
After reviewing several previous results, the researcher selected the variables for testing. Those
variables are
X1: It has great Taste
X2: It has high Calories
X3: It gives me Energy
X4: I drink when hangout with my friends
X5: It gives me smartness
X6: It makes me feel refreshed
X7: It satisfy my thirst

The availability of purchase energy drinks, we asked 200 respondents to choose the most
common purchase place of energy drink among the retail stores, restaurants, near the
university stores and grocery stores. The Chi-Square Tests result between gender and purchase
place choice of energy drinks shows the high significant level. The result shows the value of
.000 which is the below of .05 (95% confidence level) and the result indicates high significance.
In the cross tabulation charts we can see that 150 male purchase energy drinks from retail stores
and 43 female purchase energy drinks from restaurants.

The result shows the significant relationship among the gender and preferred medium of
advertisement. Here respondents were asked to choose the preferred medium of advertisement
among commercials advertisement, print media, web advertisement and billboard advertisement.
So we can reject null hypothesis and there is a association between gender and preferred medium
of advertisement.

7. Consuming Energy Drinks: Factors that affecting university students in Dhaka city
Here we asked 200 respondents to choose the period of time of consume energy drinks. Out of 5
option respondents choose those option daily, weekly, half monthly basis, monthly basis and
occasionally. We also collect data of 200 respondents that how health conscious they are and
there have also 4 option. Those are extremely, very, somewhat and not at all. The chi-square test
between the period of time of consume energy drinks and health conscious shows the result of
.00 significant values which is below the .05(97% confidence level). So there is a high
significant relationship among the period of consume energy drinks and health conscious.
Therefore we can reject null hypothesis and assume that there is high association between period
of time of consume energy drinks and health conscious of the respondents.
Here we can see from the cross tabulation table, respondents who drink energy drinks
daily(75%) those are less health conscious than those who drink only occasionally(42.4%).

Cronbach introduce a measurement to find the reliability of the research. To measure the data, it
split data into two halves in possible manner and for further computing the correlation
coefficient. The average of those values is cronbach alpha. If the test has strong consistency then
the cronbach value between (.70-.90) is highly acceptable for the research. Here we find the
cronbach alpha value is .725 which have the correlation of items in a test and acceptable for the
researcher.

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
Energy drinks purchase behavior has been factorized using PCA (principal component analysis)
with direct oblimin. Above the table represents the percentage of variance and percentage of
cumulative variance. There are 7 numbers of factors to analysis the data. Among those 2 factors
eigenvalue are more than one and the percentage of cumulative variance is 50.347.When
eigenvalue is more than 1 and it explains more variance than single variable. So above of those
factors we consider only 2 factor model.

From above of the table we can observe the loading factor of the data. If the number of loading is
high then the factors become more important. Anything above the 0.5 can be considered salient
and the determine factor becomes more vital if it increased loading according to the suggestions
of statistician. Above of the table there is the summary of the factor analysis.

and named as product image. In factor 2 which is named by personal motives can be explained
22.40% variables.

Above the table we can explain that we find the correlation between the dependent and
independent variables. Here dependent variable is consuming energy drinks and independent
variables are taste, refreshment, caffeine, and brand loyalty. Here above the table r square
change describe only have 49% correlation of the independent and dependent variables. If
independent variables change there will no so much effect on dependent variables. So above the
model summery describe that there is not so much correlation among the independent and
dependent variables but those variables are high significant.
11. Consuming Energy Drinks: Factors that affecting university students in Dhaka city
Key findings:
Above of the research majority of the respondents were male which is 76% and female
respondents were 24%. Among those respondents most of the people drinks speed which is 59%.
In this research also found that there is strong relationship between gender and purchase place
choice.
Also have the strong relationships between the Gender and preferred medium of advertisement
(commercials, web ad and print media)
This research also finds that there is a relation between period of consuming energy drinks and
health conscious of the respondents.
An interesting fact comes from the research that people who were drinks energy drinks have the
less conscious about their health and people who were drinks occasionally have very much
health conscious.
This research identify the most two factors or components those effect energy drinks purchase
behavior. Among those, factor 1 which has named as product image is explained by three items:
1. It has great Taste
2. It has high Calories
3. It gives me Energy
It describes that those factors influence most to the consumers of purchasing energy drinks with
variance 27.93%.
Above of the factor analysis we can also find that out of those factors, Factor 2 which is named
as personal motives also influence the consumers to purchase energy drinks and it includes four
items
1. I drink when hangout with my friends
2. It gives me smartness
3. It makes me feel refreshed
4. It satisfy my thirst
12. Consuming Energy Drinks: Factors that affecting university students in Dhaka city
It describes that consumers personal motives also can influence of purchasing behavior and those
factors have 22.40% variance.
In this research we also find that there is a correlation of purchase energy drinks with taste,
caffeine, refreshment and brand loyalty. We classify those into dependent and independent
variables. In independent variables includes taste, refreshment, brand loyalty and caffeine. On
the other hand in dependent variables include product categories with energy drinks consume. In
this research R square change can describe only 49% of the correlation among those dependent
and independent variables.
